Scottsdale offers all the services and amenities planners expect of a premier meeting destination: top-tier accommodations, state-of-the-art meeting facilities, and hassle-free transportation in the air and on the ground. It also offers the discovery of something delightfully unexpected—the stirring beauty of the Sonoran Desert.

Sonoran Desert Spaces
Towering saguaro cactuses, majestic mountains, and technicolor sunsets abound in Scottsdale’s Sonoran Desert backdrop for meetings of any size. And with more than 330 days of annual sunshine, outdoor events and activities can be planned with confidence. Plus, Scottsdale is recognized as one of the nation’s safest, cleanest, and most vibrant cities.
Whether groups need a little space or a lot, Scottsdale answers the call with more than 13,500 guest rooms across 70-plus lodgings that include award-winning resorts, stylish urban hotels, and exclusive Sonoran Desert retreats. When it’s time to gather, choose from high-tech boardrooms, spacious ballrooms, creative breakout spaces, large meeting rooms, and more than 60 exceptional off-property venues that run the gamut from Arabian horse ranches to architectural wonders.
Downtime Diversions
From the upscale shops, galleries, and museums in Old Town to Sonoran Desert adventures like horseback riding, off-road tours, and hot-air ballooning, there’s never a shortage of things to do in Scottsdale. Scottsdale also offers more than 200 area golf courses; 50-plus pampering resort and day spas; and top-tier events like the WM Phoenix Open, MLB Spring Training, and the legendary Thursday night ArtWalk.
Award-winning dining and nightlife options allow planners to add interest and regional flair to their programs. Old Town Scottsdale offers more than 100 restaurants, wine bars, and nightclubs, with 800 more available citywide.
